Kanonkop CWG Paul Sauer 2007
30 year old trellised vineyards with 5 tons/hectare yields are used to produce this wine. The grapes were destemmed and sorted before fermentation, which took place in open top “kuipe” for 5 days. After malolactic fermentation, the blend was made and put in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months. This is a selection of the best barrels of this wine. Tasting Notes: Deep cherry-red colour with raspberry, blackberry and a hint of bell-pepper on the nose. Rich blackcurrant and dark chocolate flavours add complexity to the velvet-like structure that finishes with a typical dry mouth feel.
